Educational attainment causally impacts drinking behaviors and risk for alcohol dependence: results from a two-sample Mendelian randomization study in ~ 780,000 study participants

2019-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Observational studies suggest that lower educational attainment may be associated with risky alcohol consumption behaviors. However, these findings may be biased by confounding and reverse causality. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), we can determine whether education is causally related to alcohol consumption behaviors and alcohol dependence (AD). <h4>Methods</...
